Cool rear shocks for S/M 05

Hi guys
Im new to posting on the forum and enjoying all of the experience shared messing with these pommy bikes.
Is there anyone with experience using YSS shocks on their speedmaster
or america? I recently read a good comparo on the progressive shocks and wondered if the YSS are any where near Ricor or Progressive's quality of ride, Ive only read a little about their use on the scrambler. The YSS shocks are about $900.00 Australian,
Would be keen for any good info.
cheers.

YSS shocks on my SM

Yes. I have fitted the YSS shocks to my 2006 Speedmaster.They are the non remote reservoir type. I have noticed a definite improvement in handling in high speed sweeping corners. $900 sounds a bit expensive, I got mine for $425 kiwi dollars. I originally made the mistake of setting them up hard, so they didnt move, sort of how I ran the original shocks. I now have them setup softer to cushion the ride, much better damping and ride like that.
